388. Don’t Forget the Sabbath

G                             D                 C  G
Don’t forget the Sabbath, The Lord our God hath blest,
G                                 D       A        D
Of all the week the brightest, Of all the week the best;
D                     G         D               G
It brings repose from labor, It tells of joy di-vine,
G            D7       Em    C         G        D      G
Its beams of light de-scend-ing, With heav’nly beauty shine.
G        C7       Em   C        G       D       C  G
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome, Blessèd Sabbath day.
G        C7       Em   C        G       D7      G
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome, Blessèd Sabbath day.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Don’t forget the Sabbath, The Lord our God hath blest,
Of all the week the brightest, Of all the week the best;
It brings repose from labor, It tells of joy divine,
Its beams of light descending, With heavenly beauty shine.

[Refrain]
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day,
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day.

[Verse 2]
Keep the Sabbath holy, And worship Him today,
Who said to His disciples, “I am the living way;”
And if we meekly follow Our Savior here below,
He’ll give us of the fountain Whose streams eternal flow.

[Verse 3]
Day of sacred pleasure! Its golden hours we’ll spend
In thankful hymns to Jesus, The children’s dearest Friend;
O gentle loving, Savior, How good and kind Thou art,
How precious is Thy promise To dwell in every heart!
